I need some help uploading some info to my website, I am not a programmer, and am quite new to this part of online business, so please use dumb downed laymans terms so that I can understand. I'm learning, but I'm still not to smart in this area I've uploaded a file before to my website, but it was just to the homepage and I didn't have any problems doing it. I'm now trying to upload some info to a subdomain and seem to be having some problems. I created the subdomain, then went to my software I use to upload files (FTP I think it's called) but it gives me the following error message. Publishing Failed The server is not available. Check your connection and try again later. I have tried to follow all the instructions given, but I seem to be doing something wrong. My website is with yahoo, and I use Ewen Chia's My Free Website Builder. I don't think there is anything wrong with the software I'm using, it seems of high quality with a nice simple layout. I think I'm the one making the mistake, but I can't figure it out. Also, I don't know if it matters, but when I created the subdomain yahoo made me choose a forwarding location. I had to choose one of the following. / tmp yahoo_site_admin images I just chose / but I don't really know what that means. Any help would be appreciated.
Not sure about your connection issues BUT if you chose "/" as the forwarding location then most likely your subdomain is now pointing to your main domain. You need to create a new folder (Ex: sub) in your main directory and then forward the subdomain to that new folder. Then open that folder and place your subdomain files into it. Unless Yahoo automatically creates a subfolder with the name of your subdomain. Not sure.
